Guys, several of those were Bolton vs. Perine. And we know Bolton is probably the best tackler on the team. 95% of the time if he gets his hand on someone, they're going down. But Perine is a beast to tackle. He's 5'11" 237 lbs. Just about ten pounds lighter than Henry, in a denser package.
In fact, many of their skill players are just big, hard-to-tackle guys. Not saying 14 missed tackles is acceptable, but let's not make it out like the guys on the other side weren't any good. That's like saying every defender that plays vs. Kelce is trash just because they can't cover him 1v1. Or every defender that tries to tackle Mahomes when he scrambles. CIN has some players that are tough tackles just like KC has players that are tough tackles; we were always going to miss a few.
